Well we've been on this board for nearly 2½ years so it's well overdue that we should be using a colour scheme that isn't the default out of the box. So Aegis has blued his frankenfazer and here we go - what do you think?
(p.s. the corners on the front page are wrong and I'll figure out why in a couple of weeks, but I didn't want to stop the change because of that)
(pps if you really hate it you can change back on the front page - the old one was 'Curve')

Was looking at the LBC site to see when the next Nick Clegg show is (tomorrow morning as it turns out). At the bottom of the page there's a form for people to send in questions and one of those images of a word to keep spammers away. But look at the word they've picked!

Congratulations to Fazerider for winning the final competition of 2012 
His theme for the first of 2013 is:
Clouds.
Doesn't matter if they're natural or man-made, so can be anything from cumulonimbus at sunset to the results of the bloke three doors down emptying a can of Redex into his Triumph Spitfire's carburettor.

General / Police and Crime Commissioners
« on: 27 October 2012, 01:16:58 pm »
Is anyone voting? You can see your candidates from this link: http://www.choosemypcc.org.uk/
I thought that the candidates would be ex-policemen, but in my area the 2 candidates are both representing political parties. The Labour candidate was a member of a Police Authority but the Conservative candidate appears to have had no prior connection to the police at all.
What is the point of these elections? How can we, at the next election, know if they're doing a good job, what with our journalists? And given that some people would never vote conservative and others would never vote labour, there's not even a real choice of candidates.
